On a day of revelry that included an induction into the Mohegan Sun Walk of Fame, Jimmy Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band contributed to the contrived revelry with a two-hour performance on the casino’s Arena stage.

Mohegan Sun has become a regular summer stop on Buffett’s touring itinerary and as much as any other traveling artist his familiarity with the nooks and crannies of New England’s shoreline almost make him a native son.

The pied-piper of public inebriation, Buffett set up his stage to resemble the Bama Breeze Saloon and set out to engage the thousands of fans who had shown up with standard Buffett paraphernalia; stuffed parrots, grass skirts, and glasses filled with frozen beverages.
